Have you heard of the New Way Forward Act? No? Usually, Democrats like to talk a lot about their proposed legislation. Their buddies in the Credentialed Media talk it up as the best thing ever. Strange that this one has been MIA
At this moment there is a bill pending in Congress called the New Way Forward Act. It’s received almost no publicity, which is unfortunate as well as revealing.
The legislation is sponsored by 44 House Democrats, including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. At roughly 4,400 words, it’s almost exactly as long as the U.S. Constitution.
Like the Constitution, this legislation is designed to create a whole new country. The bill would entirely remake our immigration system, with the explicit purpose of ensuring that criminals are able to move here, and settle here permanently, with impunity.
You may think we’re exaggerating for effect. We’re not – not even a little.
The New Way Forward act is the most radical single piece of legislation we’ve seen proposed in this country. It makes the Green New Deal look like the status quo.
A document produced by Democrats to promote the bill says: “Convictions … should not lead to deportation.â€
Keep in mind, we’re not talking about convictions for double parking. The bill targets felony convictions – serious crimes that send you to prison for years. A press release from Rep., Jesus Garcia, D-Ill., is explicit about this.
Garcia brags that the bill will break the “prison to deportation pipeline.†How does the bill do that? Under current U.S. law, legal U.S. immigrants can be deported if they commit an “aggravated felony†or a “crime of moral turpitude†– that is, a vile, depraved act, like molesting a child. Under the New Way Forward Act, “crimes of moral turpitude†are eliminated entirely as a justification for deportation. And the category of “aggravated felony†gets circumscribed too.
I’ve gone and read the act. Tucker is not exaggerating.
To detain illegal immigrants, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would have to prove in court that the illegal immigrants are dangerous or a flight risk. But of course, ICE wouldn’t be allowed to use a detainee’s prior criminal behavior as proof he or she is dangerous. That’s banned.
ICE would have to overcome even more hurdles if the detainee claims to be gay or transgender, under 21, or can’t speak English and an interpreter isn’t immediately available.
In other words, it would be much harder to arrest an illegal alien than it is to arrest you. They’re the protected class here. You’re just some loser who’s paying for it all.
But, wait, there’s more (actually, you should read the whole article, because I’m only excerpting)
But believe it or not, we saved the nuttiest part for last. What could be more destructive than changing U.S. law, specifically to allow rapists, child molesters, and drug dealers to stay in America? How about this: Using taxpayer money to bring deported criminals back into America.
That’s right. This bill would not only abolish your right to control who lives in your own country, but it invents a new right in return: the “right to come home.â€
There’s zero chance this passes the GOP controlled Senate, much less makes it to the President’s desk. And, with something this radical, House Democrats will most likely hold off to wait and see if they take the White House and the Senate. It’s just another big, big reason to make sure Trump is re-elected and the GOP keeps the Senate.
